I have made this several times, with the following changes: I use 1 cup each lemon juice, fresh orange juice, and white wine, and then just put it all in a huge ziplock bag and let it marinate in the fridge overnight. DELICIOUS! I boil the marinade and add it to the pan to roast the turkey. I then rub the turkey with some olive oil. Turns out very moist and flavorful.

My mother in law always makes the turkey every year and my husband won't eat any other turkey. I found this recipe a couple years ago in the newspaper and used it to make my first turkey when we moved away. He LOVED it! He asks for it every year and even says it's better than his mother's! It works great for a roast chicken too!

Truly the best I have ever tasted. Found this recipe in 2006 in a weekend paper and have been using it since then. Any recipe that starts with 3 HEADS of garlic is my kind of recipe. It has become a Thanksgiving tradition in our house, the whole family loves it. I make a gravy with the drippings and we use it on everything. Also makes great turkey sandwiches the next day.

This was horrible. Not a single person in the family could even eat it. We love turkey and we love cuban food, but this is just gross. If you feel a need to try this recipe, scale it down to a tiny turkey so you don't waste a huge bird on this.

This turkey was awesome, and I made a sauce out of the pan drippings by adding more OJ and water. Yum!

Good on the Cuban twist but remember this if you keep basting the turkey every 30-40 min you won't have a really crispy skin...I know I know the cardiologist says NO SKIN but ya know what they eat it they just don't tell us about it...one more thing make sure you marinate the turkey in a non-reactive vessel... that means glass or stainless steel as aluminum and citrus is toxic

We used this marinade but smoked the turkey instead. We smoke our turkey every year and thought the marinade would make it even more flavorful, but it didn't. The turkey wasn't bad at all, it just tasted the same as it always does.

I used a 7.5 lb. turket breast, marinated it overnight, and intended to roast it today. However, on short notice we had to go out of town, so I removed the skin and cooked it in the crockpot about 8 hours. It was very easy and very good.

Very moist, tasty. When we make this again, because the directions on the garlic weren't very specific, we'll crush all of it, but put some aside to stuff in the holes. Did a cranberry salsa to use with the turkey because we didn't think the juice would make a good gravy.

I made this for Thanksgiving 2 years ago and it was a delicious twist on the standard turkey. I'd highly recommend it.

I thought this was WONDERFUL! I found the recipe last year and emailed it to my sister (who had the Turkey responsibility last year). It smelled incredible while cooking and the juices were delicious on rice. This was different from the usual turkey and quite a wonderful change, in fact *I* might cook it THIS year!
